You can’t just say “hurt durr Americans are just irresponsible;”
Actually, I can. That’s why americans are more obese and have more credit card debt - it all boils down to irresponsibility.
I’m trying to have a conversation about what it would take to actually solving the problem here
Solving the problem would be rather simple, subsidize healthy food so a cucumber doesn’t cost 6$. Make mandatory cooking classes in school so kids know how to cook, at least to some extent. The magical word is “education”.
even if the problem really were that Americans were more irresponsible on average compared to people from other countries
There is no “if”. They are.
there would have to be a systemic reason why
No. It boils down to people eating shitty food and not knowing/having no interest in knowing how to cook.
Like, we can argue all day about american processed food being full of additives and sugar and high fructose corn sirup etc, which is certainly the case, but at the end of the day, the people who eat it know that this is the case, so they are irresponsible, and if they don’t, it once again boils down to education.

Time to look for other services then.

Good. Maybe we can go back to paying for our services instead of getting tracked everywhere we go.

Eating health is a responsibility of an individual.
Trying to blame the omnious evil system instead of the responsibility of each individual is absolutely missing the point.

missing out on great debates
There’s no great debate to be had with someone who wants to defend this clearly anti-consumer behavior. There is no way to justify this in any way, shape or form.
- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 1 week ago:
Yes, you learned that one person has 5 rentals - that’s one more person. That’s why I said these people exist, but in small numbers.
A vast majority of apartments is controlled by large corpos.
- Comment on Life is unfair to landlords 1 week ago:
Depends a lot honestly - in my experience, there’s two types of landlords.
-
The person that inherited/bought an apartment, but doesn’t want/can’t live in it right now (because it’s really remote, for example). They often buy these as “retirement homes”, so something they can live in when they no longer work. While they don’t live in it, they rent it to other people. The reason for that often is because their job requires physical presence and renting an apartment near their job is just cheaper if you factor in rent from the bought property.
-
Large corporations that buy up houses left and right, make a few minor changes that classify as “modernizations” and then jacking up the rent by 33%. Those can go fuck themselves.
This omnious “landlord” that owns like 10 properties and only lives off of the rent is rare. I know a single person that does that, he inherited a company from his dad, sold it like 30 minutes after he became owner, built 3 houses with 4 apartments each and is now chillin. And I don’t even feel like that’s a “bad” thing, because he has literally built those houses - they would not even exist without him.

Because in many cases, the weight is the problem.
Being obese has so many related sicknesses. From having sleeping problems to back pain to knee pain to more serious stuff like cardiac arrests - being fat brings so many health problems.

which points squarely at an environmental cause
No, it points to people eating processed food and other shit. Guess what, you can still be healthy if you eat healthy.

Good thing I still have the exploitable one with hekate installed.
Nintendo will have to visit me personally and pry my switch from my cold, dead hands.

All in all, I don’t think it’s totally anti-consumer behaviour
Lick the boot.
A company being able to remotely lock down your device is incredibly anti-consumer.
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 1 week ago:
clearly PalWorld takes more than a little “inspiration” on a bunch of different Pokemon IP
There’s 1025 Pokemon at this point in time - how the hell are you supposed to create a unique pokemon at this point in time? Even pokemon can’t create unique pokemon anymore.

Good work doesn’t excuse shit behavior. Hell, if you dig deep enough, you will probably find some good things done by musk or trump.
I will not give a single cent to people who defend russia in their aggression against ukraine, no matter what “good deeds” they otherwise do.

The funny thing is, that microsoft has been doing that for years now and people just ate it, including forced updates, changes to default applications, limitations on hardware etc. It’s kinda funny that copilot is the drop that made the barrel spill.

Karl Marx, in theory is 100% correct
No, he’s really not. He’s completely wrong. Life is about more than eating, sleeping and working. Communism is a good approach if survival of mankind is on the line, but not if we actually want to live our lives.

Intermingling PHP and HTML is one of PHP strengths
Eeeh, no. It’s a bad practice in 2025. That was a good thing a decade ago.
Trying to modify this blocked CSS is going to be wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy easier than trying to modify a bunch of printed HTML strings broken up by multiple nested conditionals. Plus it’s just straight-up easier to read and straight-forward to understand what the function does right away.
True. But I was just looking at the source code of wordpress for 30 seconds. I could probably find worse.
To harp on this even more, one of the benefits of blocking HTML in this way is IDE highlighting.
Which isn’t a problem if you use a template engine - as you should in modern applications.
I can’t think of a single system that doesn’t “stop PHP executing” at some point to output HTML in some way.
Not a single modern system does that. It’s terrible practice and won’t even pass automated code reviews with sane settings.

Your opinion was correct like 10 years ago. PHP7 made a lot of fixes to many of the problems it had and PHP8 improved on it even more. And if you slap a framework on top of it, like laravel, PHP looks awesome.
- Comment on 4chan hacked and taken offline. Hacker reopens /qa/ and leaks all admins emails. 4 weeks ago:
but oh man in a much better, cleaner, and more sparingly way
I don’t think we’re looking at the same source code. The first thing I see in wp-activate.php:
function wpmu_activate_stylesheet() { ?> <style type="text/css"> .wp-activate-container { width: 90%; margin: 0 auto; } .wp-activate-container form { margin-top: 2em; } #submit, #key { width: 100%; font-size: 24px; box-sizing: border-box; } #language { margin-top: 0.5em; } .wp-activate-container .error { background: #f66; color: #333; } span.h3 { padding: 0 8px; font-size: 1.3em; font-weight: 600; } </style> <?php }
This isn’t better nor cleaner. This is a disaster. A function that stops PHP execution halfway-through, outputs some text and then restarts PHP execution? Hell, I’ve been in the PHP ecosystem for over a decade now and I didn’t even know this was possible and I wish that knowledge was still hidden from me.
Maybe I was wrong by saying that the 4chan source code is better than wordpress, fair. Maybe I should just say both are abominations, I will not judge which one is better and both should be discarded and forgotten.

I mean, the source code looks a lot cleaner than WordPress, which is an incredibly sad statement.

- Comment on How to harden against SSH brute-forcing? 1 month ago:
You don’t. This is normal. Ensure key-only auth, ensure you do not login directly as root, maybe install fail2ban and you’re good. Some people move the port to a nonstandard one, but that only helps with automated scanners not determined attackers.
You could look into port-knocking if you want it really safe.
